We started Simcas Composites to make prepreg more accessible and sustainable. Were a team of composite experts with decades of experience in the development and production of composite materials in the aerospace, ballistics, and automotive sectors. What guides us is our passion to develop and deliver prepreg with a lower environmental impact and to help our customers decrease their carbon emissions. We are developing recyclable materials, bio-based resins, and searching for ways to reduce the carbon emissions of the fibre reinforcements we offer. We acquired the Evopreg line of products to offer a wider range of bio resin options, and we are bringing transparency to our industry by creating accurate lifecycle assessments (LCA) for all of our products.
